But they weren't sold.He gave up selling them, and went home. On his way home, He found 7 stone statues called Jizo. It was heavy snow outside. He thought that they looked very cold, so he put 5 unsold straw hats on to them. And he put a hat which he was wearing on and his towel to remained 2 statues. So he went home having nothing. But the old woman didn’t blame his action, and conversely praised him.
At that night, they heard the sound in the entrance when they slept. They opened the door, and they found a lot of foods, gold, and treasure. Then they found 6 statues wearing straw hats and a statue wearing a towel walking far.
They Thank for them, and they greet a good new year.

There was an old couple who was very kind but poor.
There was nothing grammatically wrong with your original sentence, just thought that this might make it sound better.
They were so poor that they had no money to buy food at the end of the year.
So the old man went to the town to sell some straw hats that were made by him.
On his way home, he found 7 stone statues called Jizo.
It was heavy snowing heavily outside.
He thought that they looked very cold, so he put 5 unsold straw hats on to them.
And he put a hat which he was wearing on and his towel to on the remained remaining 2 statues.
So he went home having with nothing.
But the old woman didn’t blame his action, and conversely but instead praised him.
At that That night, they heard some sounds at the entrance when they slept.
They opened the door, and they found a lot of food, gold, and treasures.
Then They also found 6 statues wearing straw hats and a statue wearing a towel walking from far.
I am not too sure if the last part was what you meant.
They Thank for thanked them, and in return the statues greeted them a good new year.
What I want to say in the sentence that you were not sure is that those statues were about to go to the place where they were placed originally after they placed those treasures on the entrance.
Is that correct to use the words "in the distance"?
Sorry, I can't describe well.
Any way, Thank you.
This might be better.
